This test verifies that Live.iso image can be booted and installed from a USB stick created by a dd command.

You might lose your dataThis test case requires you to use low-level system utilities that can easily destroy all your data when used incorrectly. Only follow this if you are a highly-experienced user or you don't mind losing your system and your data.

Setup

You need to have a USB stick that is larger than the Live.iso image.

How to test

Convert the Live.iso image to the USB stick using dd.

Example command is:

# dd if=Fedora-28-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=16M

where you replace sdX by your USB stick device identifier. This will destroy all data on that disk.
